Just follow these steps.

  • Decode the video. You'll have to create or find a decoder for every type of video you want to play. Here's a good Wikipedia article on video codecs to get you started.

  • Capture each frame from the video as an Image

  • Store the images on the disk.

You'll also have to build a complete Java Swing GUI to manage your video files and your image files. This Oracle tutorial should get you started learning Java Swing.

Oh, one last thought. Every second of video produces around 32 images. You might want to put an option in your process to only save every 10th frame, every 100th frame, or even every 1,000th frame.

You should use JMF - Java Media Framework. Take a look on this reference:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-140239.html

It contains download links and tutorials.
